Recycle Your Disposable Razors and Blades
WFCC is now a community drop off for disposable razor and blades - any brand. There is a drop off box beside the back door near the kitchen.

(Shout out to Who Gives A Crap toilet paper which rated "Best." Several of us at WFCC use it, and it can even be found in our restrooms at church. When everyone was scrounging for toilet paper at the beginning of the pandemic, they sent out their auto scheduled delivery of a whole case right on time. )

Wondering where to recycle something?

Centering Prayer is a way to remember to re-orient our lives. Centering prayer consists of two components:
1) Studying the process of Centering, and discussion of our reading for the week.
2) Spending twenty minutes divesting ourselves of ourselves - our thoughts, feelings, and busyness. This whole process is a self-reminder in all of life to be centered in the awareness of the presence of the Holy.
